Caddo detectives arrested a 32-year-old man who was caught selling fuel he stole from his employer, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

On Thursday, July 21, a fuel company reported Justin Price for stealing 1,425 gallons of diesel fuel from worksites in Desoto and Sabine Parishes between June 26 and July 17. He then sold the stolen fuel to 18-wheeler truck drivers in Caddo Parish. The company filed theft reports with the Desoto and Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Offices and hired a private investigator who was able to record video evidence of Price with the stolen fuel in Caddo.

Price was arrested on Wednesday, August 17, and booked into Caddo Correctional Center charged with illegal possession of stolen things. His bond was set at $25,000.00.
